Re: Can you recommend some official escrow services?

Everyone BE VERY CAREFUL OF USING AN EXCROW PERSON ON THIS FORUM.

There is an EXTREMELY well know escrow provider who just disappeared recently. If you DO enlist a bitcointalk user to hold your escrow, be SURE there is a mechanism to get paid if that person disappears.

I've seen people learn this the hard way. Single person escrow means VERY LITTLE.

BTW, in general just be very careful on this site. People WILL steal from you. Even those with a LOT of history and trust.

I'll say it again - don't trust ANY single individual on this site. Anyone can become a scammer at any time - it happens far more than you think.

i can confirm, i am escrow

LOL!!! Yeah, "i am escrow" too!

In french escrow (wrote escroc) means crook http://dictionary.reverso.net/french-english/escroc

What is the username of the well know escrow provide who disappeared?

John K - he was already mentioned up thread a ways.

Right John K, he seems to be unprofessional for an escrow asking for a fee of 1.5% but not a crook :

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412061.0 he reappeared and gave back the 1000BTC he was holding for Bitcointalk/Theymos

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=141672.0 : his escrow service thread

A good escrow should not be unreachable for an extended period of time and let his customers wait

I agree no one should be using John K for now, well indeed you can't even contact him now lol.
He hasn't logged in his account for over 1 month, and come back on Jan 12 to release 1000btc to theymos, and is now gone again....
